2. This is a class photo that was taken in 2008 when I was in Grade 6 at John G. Diefenbaker Elementary school. The school can be located at Richmond, British Columbia, Canada.
3. It is a primary source because it was at the time of the event, which is myself living in Canada.
4. My event is moving and living in Canada, which was a great deal for me. This class photo easily provides the fact that I lived in Canada because it is a class photo, and you had to be in the class for a year to be a part of the photo shoot. Also in this photo, I have all my classmates in it, and I think I enjoyed my life in Canada mainly because of friends. I think friendship played a great role in my life in Canada.
5. I still remember this day very clearly. I was excited and wanted to look nice because I knew that people would keep it and look back on it. Also because I knew that I would be going back to Korea someday, and I would miss my life Canada.

2. This is my report card from the third term of sixth grade which was the year of 2008. This report card was the last report card I got in Canada.

4. The document is important to the event of me moving to Canada because the purpose of going there was for me to learn English, and your ability to speak English shows through your report card.
5. The moment the teacher called my name and gave me my last report card I would get in Canada, I would never forget. I was very nervous and my heart was pounding. I knew my parents wanted me to get high grades, but I wasn’t sure I was going to get them. I wanted to rip the pages out of the envelope, but I somehow managed to walk all the way to the parking lot where my mom waited and I opened it there. My eyes scanned the page for letter grades and i had exceeded my very own expectations. I was thrilled.

2. My sister was the best source I had to interview about us moving to Canada because she was right there with me and we even went to the same schools. We shared a lot of memories together.
3. Interviewing my sister would be a secondary source because I’m hearing about the event from someone and I’m not looking at a source that is directly from the event.
4. As I said before, my sister was right beside me the whole three years so she knew a lot about what I went through and most about my life in Canada.
5. My sister thought our short life in Canada was wonderful. She even said herself in the interview that she would go back if she had the chance. I hear my sister talk a lot about Canada even nowadays. I’m guessing she had the best time of her life just like I did.
